Premise

Economic, demographic, and technological changes are all contributing to the transformation of the workforce and workplace. Are you effectively leveraging digital technology and models to drive this transition at your organization? To get ahead of the curve, empower your people and drive change from the inside out.

Description

As we transition from an industrial age to digital, few of us work the same way now as the previous generation did. Workplaces are having a more diverse workforce demanding increasingly collaborative and flexible work environments.

Cathy Benko, Vice-Chairman of Deloitte in San Francisco and co-author of ‘The Corporate Lattice’, explains how the days of standardization and strict hierarchies are over, in favor of a structure where ideas and employees can move along horizontal, vertical and diagonal paths. These new networks are not only opening doors to more opportunities, but to a more agile kind of employee with multi-dimensional skills and strengths. It's time to climb the ‘Corporate Lattice’.

And in an age when technology reigns supreme, people remain our greatest asset. Our focus remains on IT and business processes while neglecting our core asset: people. Our outmoded approaches to organization development often fail to empower the workforce.

Learning circles are an effective framework to rapidly DIY Digital Organization Development. Learning circles owe its origin to Study Circles from Sweden. Some of the core principles include equality of participants, facilitated learning not training, a collaborative and not competitive environment and balancing knowledge acquisition with social communication.
